Description

Rare opportunity to build your own home in Sydenham Oxfordshire . The plot has planning approval for a two storey dwelling with a Gross Internal Area of 2000 sq ft. 4 bedrooms, 3 bath/shower rooms, landing with access to spacious loft area. A large sitting room open to a large open plan kitchen / dining room with bi-fold doors leading to infinity floor onto the south facing raised decking area, separate study/family room, utility room and cloakroom off the hall.

The fifth of an acre plot utilises an existing vehicular access off the 20 mph village road with drive and parking area for up to 4 cars.

The plot is surrounded on three sides by fields bounded by a hedge to the front, rear and one side and close boarded fence to the other.

The house is of traditional form with render and timber boarded walls under a slate roof. Briese Soliel's protect the large south facing doors and windows to kitchen/dining and bedrooms 1 & 2 from the ravages of summer sun whilst allowing the low winter suns heat to penetrate deep into the dwelling without ever spoiling the view of the Chiltern Hills.

The building's sustainability credentials include an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP), a renewable low carbon heat source providing low temperature heating via wet underfloor heating pipework and domestic hot water.

An array of Photo Voltaic panels on the roof will generate low voltage renewable electricity from sunlight with the ability to store any excess electricity generated with batteries complimenting the electric efficiency of the ASHP.

All prior to commencement conditions attached to planning approvals have been discharged.

For further details and information please call the office where plans are available for inspection.
